Nocturnal Animals

When I was watching
Writer/Producer/Director Tom Ford’s horrible Nocturnal Animals, I could
not help feeling sorry for Amy Adams, hoping she had, somehow, been coerced
into acting in this piece of cinematic garbage instead of volunteering to
participate.Why Amy?You’ve done nothing that deserves such
penance!

The film…no, soapopera…has
the most ghastly opening ever with a 400-500lb. naked woman, tossing her flabs
of skin around as she cavorts on a stage.I couldn’t read the credits as I had to turn away from the screen.

The travesty went down
from there with a tasteless story of revenge that, ultimately, became laughable
as a result of both story and acting.

There should be a warning
for any viewer contemplating suicide.This piece of junk might just push them over the edge.

If there is anyone who
likes this crap, who isn’t already in therapy, I would be happy to point them
in the direction of a reputable psychiatrist.

Only for Cinematographer Seamus
McGarvey's occasional interesting images do I give Nocturnal Animals a 1 out
of 5.I hope all involved have been
properly disinfected.

If I had seen it before my
blog on The Best Films of 2016, it would have tied for Worst Movie of
the Year.

About Me

Brian Porzak: I am a cinephile who likes to view films with a live audience. My taste runs the gamut, including indies, studio films, foreign films and most all genres. Because I see so many films, friends often ask me what to see. So, I thought I'd blog about what is worth seeing or not. As a writer/filmmaker myself, I hope to give a more uplifting perspective than the typical critic. Filmmaking is tremendously difficult. Just because some problems might exist in a particular work does not, necessarily, destroy its enjoyability and I think that is necessary to point out to would-be viewers.
